The European Union (EU) will not be offering support for the holding of the upcoming general and regional elections, according to Ambassador Geert Heikens.
Heikens, the Head of Delegation of the European Union to Guyana, restated this on Friday evening at a reception he hosted to celebrate European Day. Identifying 2011 as an important year for Guyana because of the elections, Heikens said, “the union has decided based upon experience—earlier, the last elections and our analysis done— not to set more assistance to the Guyana elections. I think this is a clear sign of our trust,”
